ROSACEA AND REDNESS AND BROKEN CAPILLARY TREATMENT IN BRISBANE
Understanding Rosacea
Redness, Rosacea and Capillaries
Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition characterised by redness, facial flushing, visible capillaries, and heightened skin sensitivity. Rosacea is most common across the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. Some individuals may also experience acne-like breakouts, a burning sensation, or eye irritation.
The condition is chronic, meaning that it is long-lasting and tends to reoccur, but rosacea can be effectively managed with various professional treatments like those available at Queensland Skin and Laser. Individuals with rosacea can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups through a combination of laser and light therapies, and through lifestyle adjustments.
ROSACEA, REDNESS & Broken Capillaries - What's The DIfference?
While redness, rosacea and broken capillaries are distinct conditions, they frequently overlap and they share one frustrating truth: they’re notoriously difficult to improve with topical skincare alone.
- Rosacea: A chronic, inflammatory condition with flushing, inflammation, and occasional breakouts.
- Broken Capillaries: Tiny blood vessels that have burst under the skin’s surface, resulting in red streaks or blotches, often from sun exposure, trauma, or natural ageing.
- General Redness: A broader symptom that can stem from sensitivity, allergies, or increased blood visibility as the skin thins with age.
Regardless of the underlying cause, many people live with skin that appears flushed, red or blotchy—giving the impression of constant embarrassment or exertion, even when they’re completely at rest. At Queensland Skin and Laser we offer treatments for rosacea, redness, and broken capillary concerns.

Rosacea and redness Treatments at Queensland Skin & Laser
IPL and laser therapy offers a highly effective, non-invasive solution for treating redness, rosacea and broken capillaries. Unlike topical products, which can only go so far, our advanced lasers target the root cause beneath the skin. At Queensland Skin and Laser, we use two leading systems:
Ideal for diffused redness and superficial capillaries, IPL delivers controlled pulses of light that reduce inflammation and help restore a more even skin tone. Additionally, IPL can improve skin clarity and texture.
Nd:YAG Laser
This laser technology goes deeper—perfect for treating more prominent or stubborn blood vessels and broken capillaries. The laser targets the blood vessels beneath the surface without damaging surrounding skin, offering long-lasting improvements with minimal downtime.
Your treatment plan will be discussed in detail during your consultation. Our approach is conservative, medical, and guided by your goals, budget, and available downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT
- Consult: Every patient begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll review your medical history, skin concerns, and goals. Because rosacea triggers differ for everyone, a personalised approach is essential.
- Plan: We’ll design a tailored treatment plan, which may include laser therapy, supportive skincare, and lifestyle advice.
- Treatment: Before starting, numbing cream is applied. During the procedure, you may feel warmth and prickling.
- Recovery: After treatment, mild redness and warmth are common but usually settle quickly. We’ll provide you with aftercare advice to support healing and results.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Preventing Rosacea and Redness
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, but it’s likely a combination of factors including genetics, environmental triggers, and differences of the skin’s immune system and blood vessels. It’s not caused by poor hygiene or being contagious.
Exposure to sunlight, heat, cold, wind, and certain foods (spicy foods or alcohol) can trigger flare-ups. Additionally, problems with the skin’s natural protective barrier may make it more susceptible to irritation and inflammation, highlighting the importance of curating an individualised skincare routine. Our dermal clinicians can discuss the most appropriate skincare plan during your complimentary consultation.
How Much Does The Treatment Cost?
The cost of rosacea, redness, and broken capillary treatment depends on the type of treatment chosen and the number of sessions required. At Queensland Skin & Laser, we believe in full transparency and provide pricing upfront during your consultation. As a guide:
- IPL pigmentation treatments – from $150
- Laser skin treatments – from $350
You’ll begin to see visible results after your first session, however, most treatment plans include 3-5 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Your specific needs will be assessed during your consultation to determine the best plan for your concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Rosacea, Redness & Capillary treatment
Who is a good candidate for rosacea laser treatment?
Most adults with facial redness, visible blood vessels, or flushing are suitable candidates. A consultation with our team will determine the best treatment approach based on your skin type, medical history, and rosacea severity. Book a clinical consultation to get started with a tailored plan.
How does laser treatment help rosacea?
Laser treatment for rosacea works by targeting broken capillaries and excess redness in the skin. The heat from the laser collapses visible blood vessels, reducing flushing and improving overall skin tone.
Is laser treatment for rosacea safe?
Yes. Laser treatment is considered a safe and effective option for most people with rosacea. Side effects are usually mild, such as temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity, which resolve within a few days. Book a free consultation today.
How many rosacea treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition. Many patients see noticeable improvement after 1–2 treatments, but a series of 3–4 sessions may provide the best results. Maintenance treatments may be needed for long-term control.
Can skincare products help rosacea?
Skincare alone can’t reverse symptoms of rosacea, but it does play an important key role. Gentle cleansers, fragrance-free moisturisers, and daily sunscreen can help calm the skin. Avoid harsh scrubs, strong acids, or products with alcohol that may trigger flare-ups. Book a consultation with our dermal clinicians to discuss whether your skincare routine is suitable for your skin concerns.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
